New nsl() function to perform DNS queries.

IP address.

captive test web page to see if the computer is online.
Better is_online() implementation, it uses DNS and
HTTPS instead of an ICMP ping via an external ping program.

connected to the internet, via is_online().
New is_up() function to check if a web (other other

program, so the the ping error messages do not litter the R console (#8,
#9).

New is_online() function to check if the computer is
online, by pinging two DNS servers.
TCP Timeout now works for the connect phase as well.
